Not all areas are set up to accept 1201 codes just yet. Our local approach control needs to change a letter of agreement with a jump school. There local LOA has assigned 1201 to the jump plane, long before the national discussion for a US wide glider code. I would think that a jump plane using the same code as a glider tow plane would be entirely sensible. Both are climbing higher and more quickly in a small area than typical GA, and then descending as quickly as practical. If you have them both (and people doing aerobatics) on 1201 with gliders then it can be a code for "rapid and/or uncontrolled altitude excursions" with people droning from place to place at a relatively stable altitude on 1200. |
